/vr/ - Retro Games

was going to get a gamegear micro but the screen looks way too big. I want a screen that's like 1cm

Want to buy an Anbernic, but their website is broken with Firefox and Chromium. What browser do i need?

>>9727913
I hear they come with a complimentary microscope.

>>9727871
I'm going to replace my smartphone of 3 years, a Samsung Galaxy M30, for a brand new one of similar specifications, just newer hardware pieces and software in it, a Samsung Galaxy A14. I didn't want to replace my current one, but it hasn't been working well, mostly the battery, it only charges when turned off, and can't be powered on unless I plug it in too... it's nothing major, but I take it as a sign, a red flag, that I should look into a replacement before things get worse, as even after sending it to repair I was essentially told that once it starts acting like that it doesn't really stop. I'm still fond of my Samsung Galaxy M30 though, so I don't want to leave it rotting somewhere dark, I want to keep it, just not as my main phone... so I'll turn it into an emulation machine, with some newer Android titles here and there, and for that I'm thinking of getting either a MOCUTE-060 or an IPEGA-PG9167 controller to turn it into a full handheld console, as they're both cheap options, so if I end up not liking it much it's still fine because I didn't spend much.

>>9727917
Most Japanese men carry a magnifying glass already for when they they need to take a piss

>>9727913
uhh, based?

>>9727916
what device are you trying to access it on?

I'm emulating Link's Awakening DX on my GBA SP, as I'm using the Jagoomba Color emulator on the EZ Flash Omega DE. Works great, I haven't noticed any oddities so far. Plus, the EZFODE has rumble, which is triggered by some things in LA, which is always fun.

>order status added
uhh, ktbros? I'm thinkin it's happening.

>>9728129
Whoa, is that a 6nm handheld that can play PS2 and 3DS games?

>>9728134
seems a little small innit

>>9727979
>I hear they come with a

>>9728129
I hate to piss in your vinegar but mine has said that since I ordered it last month and nothing has happened. Shipment should be April 10th.

>>9728129
Just to add, Nil is adding dummy tracking information into some orders so Paypal don't start auto refunding people because of the delay. Anyone affected should get an email.

>>9728002
A PC.

>>9727975
Make sure it supports wireless charging, you can thank me later.

>>9728824
Where i come this is called fraud.

Is there any point in waiting for the next generation of handhelds to get PS2 emulation and better 3DS emulation?

>>9727871
Playing some Metroid on my RG351MP and Ghost trick on my phone

>>9727975
Phones are pretty good for DS and widescreen systems such as PSP and some Gamecube but I much prefer my Anbernic device for old games, the dpad is also better

>>9728902
3DS emulation sucks even on decent PC

>>9728973
I have this exactly controller, the gamesir. The dpad is failing. Today I’ll open it to clean the contacts.

>>9728973
Look at those dirty devices and fat fucking fingers jfc.

>>9728973
clean the crusty jizz off that phone

>>9729035
>>9729060
I had that phone for 4 years so display got scratched

They finally confirmed it

i love my rg552
it's the premium retro experience

>>9729234
I fucking played A link to the past for 30 minutes then was about to die, so I hit menu+r1 to save on the ambernig and it was load instead and I lost all my progress. Also, Ristar sucks a fat dick

>>9729234
what's that a gameboy advance clone? Also, sorry about the last comment, I didn't mean to respond to you.

>>9729286
skill issue

official rg405m grip

>>9729286
My brother, we have all at one time over wrote a save state instead of load to it.

>>9729445
yep part of why i don't trust myself to use hotkeys for save/load

>>9729445
>go to save pokeyman game in front of a shiny
>load instead
>several gyms back in time

Yup

>>9729445
the problem with emulators are there are too many games to easily chose from where now im debating whether to bother replaying what I lost or just moving to another game. Considering chrono trigger and mother 3. I'm looking for something like dungeon puzzle-based. The thing I like about Zelda is that the story text isn't overbearing

jailbroken 3ds and chink emulator handheld is a very cozy combo. thinking I need a ps vita to round it out

>>9729234
Fucking of course, I caved and ordered an rp3+ literally last night

>>9729617
You can send them an email to cancel, they usually respond in like a day for stuff like refunds. It's going to use sliders tho so keep that in mind. Should be the same chip as RP3+. It'll also likely take longer to ship since it's a new product.

more like retroid hotpocket lfmao

>>9729643
hahaha good one lad!

>>9729617
The clamshell according to rumors is more of a sidegrade this time than a strict upgrade like the 3+ was to the 3.

>>9729648
thank you thank you *boots up steam deck*

Can't get bin PS1 files showing on ArcOS, any ideas?

>>9729660
I had that issue on batocera and the issue was it can't fucking see bin and cue files. actually, it couldn't even see chd files either. the workaround was just to download the isobuster demo and use it to load the cue and convert to .iso.

>>9729503
No need for a vita unless you really want to play vita only games. I don't know if the handhelds can emulate that.
Vita as an emulation handheld is almost completely replaced by chinkshit. No real reason for it there aside from cost since they go for like ¥9000 and the chink stuff is twice that

its out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acpQgA330Eo

>>9729689
I dug out my Vita for the purpose of playing just Vita (and some PSP) games. Also installed the plugin that allows it to record video over USB when plugged into a PC.

>>9729728
>more vertislop cocksucking

>>9729640
i like clamshells in theory but my 3ds hurts my hands
probably still getting this

>>9729752

>>9729758
Part of that is simply nintendo being fucking dogshit at ergonomics and controls so hopefully this will be a little better in that regard.

>>9729728
Hey cool, I want one.
Time to check the store every so often and find out there's absolutely none in stock.

>he's still shilling his streamphone setup to fulfill his "I'm totally on the chinkheld hardware engineer team bros!" fantasy
sad.

>>9727916
They have an official ebay account

>>9729234
I seriously don't know why anybody keeps buying retroid after the disaster that was the Pocket 2. It's clear that they trick their customers into buying intentionally-gimped versions before putting out a run of the actual product that you should have bought.

>>9728902
AetherSX2 dev quit, so other than being able to brute force your way through performance issues, there's no guarantee PS2 will get any better on Android devices. I'd just get a Deck if you really want to play PS2 anytime soon.

>>9729878
RP2+ was 8 months after the original RP2, which is totally fair in the world of chinkhelds. 3 months between RP3 and RP3+ understandably resulted in a lot of asshurt, but it's because the RP3 was supposed to ship a long time ago along with the RP2+ and were stuck with a bunch of stock as a result, while they also had to release the RP3+ since the RG505 was about to come out. That said, the RP2+, RP3, and RP3+ are all really good products regardless of what comes after, and this tease in particular is for a clamshell formfactor containing the same chip as the RP3+ rather than a RP3++/RP4 or something.

Going abroad for a month and bringing the Deck with me. Wondering if I should also bring another handheld; choice is between a Vita (more portable for transport journeys than the Deck) and a softmodded Switch (not banned on OFW (yet) and could maybe swap friend codes with a stranger or 2).

>>9729758
>>9729763
Nothing beats the OG DS in terms clamshell ergonomics imo, but the GBA SP is a close second and I wish there were handhelds that copied that form factor with beefier specs (a Powkiddy V90 model 2 or something).

>RG405M
They should have named it 0RG45M.

>>9729937
you are insane anon, the ds phat was complete ass. i seriously hated that thing. i didn't love the lite either, but god damn was it a massive improvement over the phat.

>a new one of these comes out every other week
>Still no pocket sized handheld with the dpad up top, stacked shoulder buttons and an oled screen

why is this so hard. It seems like the obvious thing to do

>>9729951
I love the Lite and would you it all the time if the screen wasn't a complete blurry mess. Fuck

>>9729987
Chinks don't make obvious handhelds that people want, they make handhelds based on existing parts they can get their hands on at warehouses and/or whatever parts are cost effective.

>>9727871
Rearranging it spells 0RG45M...

>>9729640
This looks atrocious

>>9729951
I kinda like the OG DS looking back. It has soul compared to the DS lite. Reminds me of one of those heavy duty laptops.

>>9730076
it has soul but it's ass to use the screens are way too fucking dark

>>9730085
the backlight is shitty? I've never had one. Went gba to dslite then got the 3ds at toys r us when it first came out and was expensive as fuck but didn't know that I could get the free games for it when they lowered the price

How is the d-pad on the RG35XX? I'm interested in it but I've hard the d-pad is not the greatest and that could be a deal-breaker. I got a RP2+ and barely use it because the d-pad is pretty trash, I don't want to order this and have the same thing happen

>>9730108
it's frontlit like the ags-001
night and day between it and the ds lite

>>9730114
I dont know how picky you are, but I've found nothing about it that all impedes my gaming and im pretty ocd. The only problem I have with it is that your hands are so close together, but I've gotten used to that. Still, I'm thinking about getting rid of it and getting a 2ds and jailbreaking it

>>9730115
Did the ags-101 come out after the DS? The frontlighting is dogshit. I got the ags-001 on eBay 5 or 6 years ago, not realizing that there was a difference between models.

>>9730120
Cool that seems like it's reasonable. I'm used to the miyoo mini so the size should be no problem

>>9730186
All I've seen was that it either accidentally registers diagonals sometimes or doesn't register diagonals, but I haven't noticed any of that. I'm not sure how much precision you really need in the games that it'd play that this would be an issue anyway.

How is it possible that I never see this thing posted here??

>>9730305
Having carts is for consoomerist fags

>>9730305
I wonder why this handheld typically take more than 4 months to ship? I can understand the Super NT Analogue and the Analogue SG, but why the Analogue Pocket and its accessories?

>>9730353
>Making use of carts is for consoomer fags, because, I hate PHYSICAL MEDIA REEEEEEEEE!

>>9730305
If they made a horizontal version I'd probably grab one.
>>9730353
You can just plop your roms in there, no need for carts. You can play Megadrive, Neo-Geo, and other arcade stuff on it now as a result.

>>9729859
Retroid not giving him special treatment really broke his brain.

>>9730373
yes this is true. I'm OCD so I dont own anything that's not a necessity, but I still dont see any reason to pay for carts

>>9730427
One, I have a shit load of carts from childhood, two see >>9730385
even just playing roms off it the display and perfromance beats the shit out of all these other handhelds. They're getting more affordable and available fyi

>>9730305
Because it's way more expensive while not offering anywhere near as much as the chink handhelds and Vitas do. Doesn't help that it doesn't work with anything other than the official dock if you want display out.

fingers crossed

>>9730783
>chicago
rip anon's package...

>>9730786
>Chicago
Still better than Flint, Detroit, Jackson (in Mississippi, New York City, much of New Jersey, and 75% of Connecticut. Not as good as parts of Oklahoma, Florida, Western and Northern Texas, Oregon, the Carolinas, or Arizona.

>>9730834
>Detroit

>>9730305
Because we're not in the early 2000s anymore and Gameboy, Color and Advance emulation is practically indistinguishable from FPGA and real hardware unless you're severely autistic about it. This shit is literally the worst of all worlds to top it off.
>it's not an original gameboy or running on gameboy hardware
>yet you need to use actual cards or hack it
You may as well just get a chink device and save yourself some money.

>>9730305
a lot less features for a lot more money than chinkshit
and the shoulder buttons are hilariously dogshit for the premium price

When are the chinks going to make a 3DS/DS ripoff?

>>9730894
Didn’t they update it to be able to run games off the microSD?

>>9731341
Oh it’s a community made core, doesn’t seem like it’s too hard to get working though.

>need to check something in the emudeck program
>wants to update
>let it, latest version of emulators will be nice
>starts reinstalling emudeck instead
>breaks my theme
>overwrites my retroarch config
You know, I can see why normalfags don't want to deal with this shit sometimes. Fuck.

I just learned that the analog pocket can play game boy advance games. Wew. Might have to pick it up.

>>9730894
yeah, I dont really see the point in paying more for it unless you want to play carts and I also dont see the point in playing carts
>>9730515
sell the carts on eBay and how good of a screen and performance do you need to play those old games on such a small device?

>>9731592
yeah and the cartridge slot is like a quarter inch deep and pressed right up against the triggers so have fun having to be extremely careful every time you need to press them

>>9731619
It can play games from sd card now.

>>9731619
Why the fuck would they do that lol

>>9731619
I'll be using roms obviously lol.

Looks like there's NES support here. No SNES support though?

I tried playing chrono trigger but its just boring to me. Earthbound was a bit better but idk I guess I'm a pleb but I dont like RPGs. Zelda is a lot of fun though, I always thought it was just an RPG like those other games and stayed away from it.

>>9731649
zoom zoom

>>9731653
I'm on the tail end of being a zoomer. I actually like older games better and haven't played a new game since like 2015. I like all genres that I've played other than RPGs and feel like thats the most highly regarded genre. I just dont get it. I can't bring myself to care about storylines in games and I dread getting into battles when I'm playing. It just feels like work.

>>9727871
Until today when it got iisekai'd by a speeding minivan, I was using a modded PSP. Nothing better than playing Mario 64 at 13fps while on the shitter.

>>9731649
I prefer turn based rpg's, but I find trigger boring too. Try action rpg's like secret of mana instead.

>>9731709
The thing I like about Zelda is getting around the dungeons, though I wish there were more puzzle solving elements. Ill check out mana thank you, I didn't realize it was like that.

>>9731709
Is action rpg the same genre as action adventure?

>>9731730
Depends on the game. Action rpg's like Phatasy star universe have a mission based structure while games like mana series and Terranigma are close enough to action adventures.

>>9729640
should have left it in the oven a little longer. looks like shit

>>9730373
Retarded cuckold

>>9731635
that doesn't fix the shit triggers

is rp3+ a good first handheld for emulation and streaming? I was eyeing Anbernic stuff but it seems pricier and my brain is too smooth to pick a model from them.

Is Ayn a huge money laundering scheme? do they ship anything?

>>9732012
My odin took a while to get to me (couple weeks), but It's in my hands at the moment

>>9732012
Ayn and Retroid are part of the same company.

>>9731984
It's a GBA, retard. They aren't supposed to be good.

>>9732012
Yes the RP3+ is kino. You may want to wait for >>9729234 >>9729640 tho if you prefer a clamshell formfactor. And yes Ayn is legit at least as far as the Odin is concerned (I wouldn't bother with Loki atm). I received a Lite last year and it was a great device, just couldn't gel with the ergonomics personally.

>>9732056
>They aren't supposed to be good
Pure, unfiltered cope

this is a long shot, but I'm autistic and I want different retro clones for different systems, using the exact button layout and a multiple of the original's screen resolution

besides the analogue pocket doing that for the gameboy (at least for the screen, it has extra buttons), are there other machines that do it for either gameboy or other systems?

>>9732056
so they made the triggers uncomfortable and hard to use on purpose on their $250 device?
bold move

>>9732114
>>9732240
You said they were only bad because of the cartridge placement. Then when confronted about that not being an issue, you backpedaled and said they were bas anyway. They aren't any worse than an actual GBA.

>>9732252
I don't know lad, the gba being shit doesn't make me feel any better about the analogue also being shit.

>>9732192
There's that one Anbernic that scales GBA perfectly.
You're not really gonna find that for home consoles since not only do many of them support different resolutions but they're commonly odd resolutions like 256x224.

>>9732059
Not really into Clamshells, that lost the charm with me after my DS lite broke in my hands. I want beefy specs and reliability, the RP3+ seems a good enough choice. I was into the Ambernic Win600 but two hours of battery life are hardly handheld worthy.

>>9732328
Yeah I'm with you on that, just wanted to give a heads-up so you didn't come back butthurt after the reveal. Win600 could've been cool if it were priced better and smaller/lighter. Hope you enjoy the RP3+, if you order a grip with it just be aware the """transparent""" is actually fucking white. If I knew this ahead of time I would've opted for either of the other colors to go with my transparent blue instead.

>>9732352
Final question. How does the RP3+ handle Steamlink? Will it chug and burn if I play Elden Ring on my computer through it?

>>9731831
Hello there Yuri tarded

>>9729234
I MUST CONSOOOOOOOOOOOM

Srs though whats the point of having this rather than a n3dsxl?

>>9729937
>going abroad
>bringing a bunch of toys

I love video games and handheld gaming but this is embarrassing. When I travel I bring a RP2+ and thats it

>>9732517
Likely cheaper and powerful enough to run more than 3ds

>>9732517
A n3dsxl has dpad in the wrong place and shit controls in general, shit screens, mediocre speakers compared to what chinkhelds have now, shit emulation capability, shit battery life when emulating, shit os, and for some fucked up reason it weighs 330g kek. I don't understand the question.

>>9732252
>only bad because of cart placement
hmm no I don't recall making that point, no

>>9732262
no a device from 2001 is designed weird so over 2 decades later it's okay

You WILL play on a vertical device.

>>9732657
You WILL buy ze vertical
You WILL boot up a pokemon title screen
You WILL take pictures and post them on reddit

>>9732670
Yesssss.....

>>9732372
Nah you should be good, I Steam Link VNs on mine almost every night. I just tried streaming some Mr Driller and Raiden IV on mine for a proper action game test, and to be honest it was good but not great. I remember when I lived in a previous apartment it was great on my RP3, so I think it's just my router shitting out on me. I used to get 105mb/s every time I ran the Steam Link network test, but now after running it 4 times I got 75, 30, 35, and 40 mb/s.

>>9732629
You said to right here>>9731619

>>9732738
yeah not my post
sorry this is how you have to learn that there's more than one other person on 4ch

Imagine buying a chinkware emulator over the analog pocket because you need shoulder buttons superior to the original hardware.

>>9732756
imagine buying an analogue pocket over either a device that's $150 cheaper and can do more and is more comfortable or a device that's $150 more expensive and can do literally anything you throw at it
AP is the dumbest possible choice on a dollar-value level

>>9732778
It's the best possible choice for GB, GBC, and GBA when price is excluded from consideration. Which is why I'm buying it. Any snes game worth playing has a GBA port anyway.

>>9732786
okay piggy, enjoy your overpriced shit

>>9732786
>It's the best possible choice for GB, GBC, and GBA when price is excluded from consideration
that would be the rg552 though

Please be bait

>>9732801

lmao then get a steam deck

>>9732816
way too big

>>9732786
>Any snes game worth playing has a GBA port anyway.
HOO HOO, JUST WHAT I NEEDED!

>>9732826
let the retard spend his money
people need to learn the hard way

>>9732826
god damn why is everything so bright in the gba port

>>9732826
use the color correction setting in the emulator dumbass

>>9732898
Compensating for the shit GBA screen. Arguably over-compensating.

if i'm playing official carts, should i look into a gbc, gba, or an analogue pocket?

GBC
-no access to GBA library
-rechargeable batteries would need to be a mod

GBA
+SP has built in rechargeable batteries
-GBC cartridges stick out and look funny

analogue pocket
-cartridges don't stick out
-no nintendo boot up sound

>>9732517
It can emulate some 6th gen games

>>9732801
>worse controls
>worse screen
No lmao
>>9732826
You fucked up your emulator settings. Not my problem.

>>9732786
>>9732826
Guys what the fuck are you on about? The Analogue Pocket has been able to play SNES games for months.

>>9733024
>>worse controls
kek no, 552 completely demolishes analogue on controls.
>>worse screen
in some circumstances you can make this arguement, but 552 results in a much bigger picture for 4:3 content while trading letterboxing for pillarboxing.

>>9732958
kinda looks like the size and shape of the rg405m. if it's a rebadge of that in plastic and with dpad in correct spot then we will have certified kino since powkiddy is generally really good on price unlike anbernig.

>>9733026
Yep and many others

>>9732974
Get a custom GBA or something

>>9733098
a custom taller gba that doesn't make gbc carts stick out funny?

>>9733094
some serious fucking shilling here
this discussion is like watching an infomercial, fuck your rectangle, faggot

Wanted a RG505, because of the nice screen, but with VAT and delivery it would have been over 200€.

Hope to play some games while soaking in the tub with it :-)

>>9733194
I don’t even own or want one lol, not a fan of the vertical form factor and emulation these days is good enough to me for what it offers.

>>9733240
Good purchase anon, I'm having fun with mine. I hope they send to you one from the march batch which are coming with a 2600mAh battery instead of the 2100mAh.
Also, did any anon tested the new RG35XX firmware from anbernic? They released two days ago.

>>9730786
>>9730783
SAFE!!!!!

>>9733639
I'm glad your toy made it past all the culturally enriched youths safely anon.

>>9733670
all I know is I'm never ordering off the official website again after this. its either on amazon or I don't know about it

>>9733670
OH YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE?

>>9733697
kek Jamal is fancying a new handheld anon. yours looks like just what he needs.

>>9732958
Holy shit, a box!

general question

if i want to emulate as much as possible e.g. also later consoles and if money does not matter: is there any reason to not get a steamdeck ? any downside any other handheld does better ?
my last emulation device was the psp, its been a while and steam deck looks like the ultimate thing to me.

>>9733774
mainly size, if the size does not matter to you but you still want a "portable" device that you can walk around with then yeah a steamdeck is what you want

>>9733776
yea seems a bit bulky, thats true.

>>9733774
A Deck for a smaller chinkheld is a good combo imo.

>>9733782
like I said, its big but its still a portable device. if you value that aspect then its good. its just if you have a console in mind that you want to emulate (anything ps1 and below) then there's more of a reason to buy a smaller device. A steamdeck does more than just emulation though, its pretty much a portable PC that can play pc games as well (mainly steam games)

I kind of sound like a shill right now even though I don't own one myself, but I can definitely see the value of it.

>>9733787
mean to say "plus" not "for", what the hell brain

>>9733774
If money doesn’t matter then you could also look at other handheld PCs like the ayaneos, GPD win 4 or others. There’s quite a few that are more powerful than the steam deck but cost like twice as much. Then again, purely from an emulation standpoint there’s unlikely much more that they can emulate compared to the steam deck. A lot of them are smaller than the steam deck but still bigger than a switch.

>>9733807
yeah people are comparing power between portable PCs talking about getting a 0.01FPS difference and then you find out their use case is playing an NES game for 20 minutes a day max

>>9733774
i hear the odin is more powerful that the steam deck but also more expensive

>>9733871
What about the Ayn Loki?

>>9733871
What? It’s the opposite, the Odin costs less and is less powerful.

>>9733871
lmao no, it's a step up from the RP3

>>9733978
may have mistaken it with the loki dunno

Lately for me, it has been my steam deck, docked. On a tv even.

>>9734087
do you actually need an official steam dock? i've seen some chinese docks on aliexpress that are much cheaper...

>>9734095
No, because it's using usb-c for the docking just like everything else these days. I'm using a thinkpad usb-c dock I borrowed from work. Don't judge please.

>>9734109
I would still maybe try to avoid the absolute cheapest ones on aliexpress. Usb-c is wonderful when it works but from what I've seen, compatibility can be kinda dodgy on the cheapest garbage.

Any recommendations for a portable SNES? I want something that can play cartridges so Anberkek shills need not apply.

>>9734126
>portable
>play snes cartridges

>>9734126
Try the Anbernic RG353P

not strictly a "handheld" question, but I'm choosing a new phone right now and I'm going to use it for emulation a lot. I've been out of the loop and it seems like Android phones get 90hz / 120hz screens now. are they any better / worse for emulation in general? any emulators that can put play stuff like PSX in 90 or 120 fps? also, while we're at it: IPS or AMOLED for retro games?

>>9734423
90hz screens might fuck with games intended to run at 60hz, but 120hz screens are fine.

The RG353P curiously has a 122hz or 124hz screen or something. It's known to cause some odd display issues in Retroarch if you don't set a "sync to device refresh rate" setting to compensate.

No harm going IPS or AMOLED if you're going to use a phone for gaming. You'll end up using standalone emulators or Retroarch anyway.

>>9734467
>90hz screens might fuck with games intended to run at 60hz
sad. that's what I was worried about.
>The RG353P curiously has a 122hz or 124hz screen or something
huh. any point in it though? 3rd-4th gen likely won't benefit from it, right? I don't even know what's the current state of emulation over 60fps for 5th gen and higher.
>No harm going IPS or AMOLED if you're going to use a phone for gaming. You'll end up using standalone emulators or Retroarch anyway.
OK, but I meant, what is a better screen for gaming (if any)? long time ago IPS was often hated for slow response rates and lack of depth in blacks, but it's been almost a decade now and it sounds like AMOLED and IPS have more or less resolved their issues.

>>9733634
Cheers. Should be here start of April.
Do you feel the battery is not big enough with 2100mAh?

Why not install the new firmware and tell us if it's ok? It's likely just very small bugfixes, it doesn't make sense to develop features for the device after release.

Are there any community firmwares yet?

Why does your windowsill have its own ecosystem?

DESU the retroid clamshell actually appears to be less wide than the RP2 if you assume the dpads on both are the same size.

>>9734620

>>9734524

>>9732535
The Deck is essentially my portable desktop/laptop replacement. I can't go away for a month and not work.
Wtf is wrong with taking one other handheld for leisure exactly?

>>9734702
rude.

>>9734126
Cartridge capable clones are no more accurate than decent software emulators so why strain your back with a dozen carts clattering in your backpack when you can keep many roms on one medium?

>>9734525
no

>>9734521
>Do you feel the battery is not big enough with 2100mAh?
It's always better to have a larger battery and going from 2100mAh to 2600mAh is a 24% increase in the battery life. Also, GarlicOS has a overclock option, so if you want to play for more hours with that option enabled an larger battery is really good to have.
>Why not install the new firmware and tell us if it's ok? It's likely just very small bugfixes, it doesn't make sense to develop features for the device after release.
I don't have a spare microSD to test. The stock firmware changed a litle bit with some performance and extra features in the December update. This new update is three months after that one, so they probably changed a lot more. To bad that Anbernic doesn't post changelog.
>Are there any community firmwares yet?

>>9730305
Probably because if you order one it just says you're getting it sometime in "2023". Lmao.

Is there even any reason to consider anything else? Retroid is the pocketable champ. Steam Deck if you want PC games too.

>>9735630
The KT-R1 will be more powerful and more pocketable.

>>9735312
I wonder why it takes so long for practically all of Analogue's products to arrive to buyers?

This thing is amazing, if you don't own any handhelds and want one that fit in your pocket then this one is good

It's more powerful than the laptop it sits on haha

>>9727871
Im sure Ill get the 405 if it runs stuff like simpsons hit and run, Viewtiful Joe and lord of the rings two towers well. Glad they put the left stick up high its more comfortable for playing non 2d stuff.

it has the same chip as RP3+/RG505/POWkiddy x18s so you can check how games run here.

>>9735919
Anbernic is going through a bumpy route nowadays.

I don't understand, /vr/os. The Miyoo Minis looked identical from promo shots to release, and all but the purple Mini + are the same. Looking at the promo pics for the Mini +, the transparent black one is identical to what you actually get, including how frosted/blurry the plastic is. But that purple one is a complete lie. It looks like the GBC Atomic Purple, but it's a darker version of the GBA Fuchsia (bubblegum pink at launch). People are actually already dying the shell to change its colour within a day of getting theirs.

A real shame because the promo shot made it look like the best colour ever. But it's not even the colour being wrong, it's not even the same translucently at all.

>>9733026
You're not this retarded, anon. The Analogue Pocket can only play physical cartridges for the GB, GBC, and GBA. Even a monkey with asperger's would have put 1 + 1 together and understood the discussion was on physical cartridges.

>>9734524
Brother.
I only got the Tab A7 lite because it was only $100 Canadian on Black Friday, and I found this adorable little bluetooth keyboard case at Value Village for $5.99 that fits it perfectly. I couldn't afford a laptop, and Android runs slower on it than any other device I've ever used in my life, but once an app is open it functions just as good as any program on a $1000 Windows laptop would. I haven't tried anything crazy on it like PS3 emulation since I was mostly just interested in emulating PS1 and N64 games, and those all run flawlessly.

>>9735936
Pffffhahaha. I swear these chinks check their shell colors in extremely poorly lit rooms because this happens way too often.

>>9735965
poverty ass nigga with the wrong screen protector and his tiny cuck controller

I bought myself a Miyoo Mini + off aliexpress, never owned a retro handheld before but I heard a lot of good things about it.

>>9735936
I don't know about the Miyoo Mini+, but after buying the RG35XX I was regretting to get the white transparent after seeing some photos from other people which made the handheld look really ugly, but after the device arrived and looking closely in person it's was way more beautiful than the photos. The best part is that the PCB color is white and the gold contacts shine thorough the transparent plastic which makes the device color look a mix of black, white and gold.

>>9734990
Cheers my dude.

>>9735650
Do you have one? May i see it?

>>9735936
You got chinked my man. Fleeced. Finessed.

>>9735965
That looks like a nice tablet setup, ignore the shitposters.
I had the first version of that controller, was awesome for when i had to work far from home and live for weeks in hotels.

>>9736041
>>9734702
There is weakness in your words.

>>9735682
Because they all use FPGAs and they're lower supply chips. They're mainly used in embedded and industrial applications. On top of that the Pocket has two of them.
>>9736082
Nothing: The Reply

>>9736082
>Do you have one?
It's not out yet, it's still in Vaporware Mode. Hopefully it ships soon and nobody gets chinked.

>>9735031
I can relate to that. I've seen some of what it has become in the last 1-4 years.

>>9736129
>Those shoulder buttons.
Becky, ew!

>>9736148
I agree, I wish he kept the stacked shoulder buttons from the prototype design.

Is my "hand"held allowed guise?
>>9736041
The definition of a nigger right here

>>9735946
Analogue Pocket regrettably is a case where you wouldn't want to play games from cartridge, since the cartridge slot doesn't properly secure cartridges due to the shoulder button placement.

>>9727871
When does this thing come out? I want something that can do saturn and i like the 353m design

>>9736353
apparently around the end of the month or somehting.

I am a little sad about the Miyoo Mini +'s dull, blurry pink shell.

Having my chinkshit handheld for the last 5 days has really left me wanting a more premium one with more features.
I think I would pay like 600 for one with 5g, nfc, good camera, bit more battery, and probably some other things I'm forgetting
Sadly nothing exists
I could really just replace my phone with one basically is the idea. While it may seem impracticable, I don't mean permanently, but I could have the choice of either and just swap the Sim between my phone and the console.

Im thinking about buying a chinkheld, but im not sure if ill be able to put roms on it directly from my android phone. Is this as simple as tranfering from phone to handheld through a usb c to usb c or will i need some adapter shit or have to use a pc? I dont have access to a pc where im at so ill have to download roms to my phone then move them over.

>>9736491
What about the razor edge? It’s technically more of just an android tablet with detachable controller though.
https://youtu.be/qqE5LhfCmhY
https://www.razer.com/mobile-handhelds/razer-edge

I just finished Final Fantasy Tactics Advance completely. I think. I didn't even know you could do that!

>>9736517
It's like huge too. The ambernig/retroid stuff is just the right size/vita size to fit in a pocket sort of while being nearly zero compromise on buttons.
Any bigger is pointless if I have to carry a purse to take it with me.

I have been playing Metroid Fusion with Integer scaling and oled on both Nintendo Switch 720p and a Galaxy A52 1080p, and... It's so hard to go back to the RG351v.
I'm starting to get why people used to swear by the Vita's OLED screen. While that 640x480 screen is great for GB/GBC with bezels and Playstation games, GBA does not look great, even with the lcd3x shader.

Other than that, last weekend I upgraded the firmware on the old EZ Flash IV.

>>9736081
Ordered me something shiny for my nontransparent RRG53XX from Japan, 27€ delivered to my door. Not cheap, but nice.

Cheapest chinkheld that runs GBA stuff well and doesn't feel fragile to hold? Emulating on the phone is alright but touchscreen controls is not.

he cute.

>>9736964

RG35XX or the miyoo mini plus

Retroid going a bit over the top with their marketing. Sure, the Retroid Foldroid (or whatever) looks neat, but it's no Retroid Foldroid 2S+

>>9728853
>Make sure it supports wireless charging, you can thank me later.
I'll try, though I don't use wireless charging often, so I don't mind it being wired, especially if the battery lasts a good while.

>>9728973
I know what you mean, the 21:9 aspect ratio most smartphones have isn't ideal for 4:3 classics, the reason I'm going for it is because these controllers, like the IPEGA-PG9167 and the MOCUTE-060 are about 1/3 of the price of the cheapest handheld I can get where I live, so it makes sense to get into handhelds with something cheap first, to see if I like it or not. In the mean time I'll try to play them streched, not up to 21:9 because that'd be too much, but over the years I got used to playing 4:3 classics streched up to 16:9 so that should do the trick and eliminate most negative space on screen.

>>9737145
Cut out a 640x480 4:3 display in 3.5" in paper and put it over the smartphone, you might still have a larger picture.
Also, because of the better hardware, you can emulate more demanding systems.
Also, because of the higher pixel density, you might be able to use a better scaling by just 3x or 4x the pixels. Or even use nice shaders.

I drag and drop the roms on my SD card then they either stop transferring half way through or transfer then disappear after I eject. I have no idea if its the shitty ambernig sd card, the sd card to USB adapter, the usb a to usb c adapter, the way I partitioned the sd card, or doing this on MacBook lol

>>9737174
If the card is from ambernic, that's probably it. Remember, they're the same company as powkiddy. (I think)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WdWd8dNYKU

>that title
haha so true powkiddy, it do be like that.

>>9737184
I got all of them on there after like an hour of troubleshooting. Drag and drop the files, they stop transferring half way through, unplug it, plug it back in, delete the files, looks like they delete, unplug it again, plug it back in, they're still there, finally delete them and transfer all the files, unplug it and plug it back in, the files aren't there anymore. I had to do this so many times lol. Fucking chinks.

How do I get arcade roms working on the ambernig

>>9737071
>>9737083
>>9737335
YUP I'm thinkin I'm gonna buy this trash once they add it to their aliexpress store. i've been waiting for a small, light, 4:3 hori with something better than a fucking rk3326 for a while now. I also really like the PSP Go shape. My only real concern aside from the device not powering on or blowing up in my hand is the d-pad sucking.

>>9737905
what emulator are you trying to use? I'm assuming your loonix OS is using some retroarch MAME core. the main thing is to make sure the mame romset corresponds to the version of mame you're trying to run them on.

>>9737335

>>9737914
Oh god I can feel the cheap plastic from here

>>9737078
You know the Miyoo Mini has other colors it can come in, since the v1 and v2 days, right? Promotional images of a prototype and the final product are not required to be the exact same nor 90% similar.

>>9737914
I dont even understand how it works because the games are split into multiple files

>>9738275
it's weird if you've never done arcade emulation before but you're supposed to leave each game as a single .zip folder.

>>9738284
God damnit are you shitting me LMFAO I downloaded this mega pack of roms for the miyoo from archive and unzipped everything and trashed the zip files. It took way too long to download too.

>>9738317
kek yeah arcade emulation is a fucking pain in the ass sometimes. if you redownload and find a lot of games still aren't working you may need to find a romset specific to whatever version of mame the miyoo wants to use.

>>9738326
Thanks. I was playing the 1943 rom on the pc engine and it was way more fun than I was expecting, so I wanted to play some arcade games. Makes me wish that I played at the arcades when I went to Tokyo.

>>9737949
Power of the RG353, price of the RG35xx. It might become a hit.

>>9737949
cheap plastic more like weight savings amirite powchads?

>>9738348
Powkiddy devices are always cheap but there's a reason for that.

>>9737972
Would i better go for the Miyoo Mini or the Anbernic RG35XX if i wanted to gift this to someone and had no idea what the differences are?

>>9738354
yeah the reason is powkiddy loves us and wants to give us great value :^)

>>9738373
The RG35XX with Garlic OS installed. You can use the Miyoo Mini Tiny Best with Garlic OS. The Miyoo Mini Plus is a pain in the ass to get hold of and is more expensive. The money you save you can spend on a 64GB microSD card.

The transparent purple on the Miyoo Mini Plus kinda looks ass compared to RG35XX's purple.

>>9737914
It reminds me too much of the dogshit AtGames handheld I used to have

>>9738415
>Miyoo Mini Tiny Best
Ayyy that's what I just downloaded. I love the Original gameboys puzzle games on here

Found my psp after looking for a week and the screen was so ass I just sold it

It's a fucking shame nobody focuses on the other colors in the Funtastic line. Throw in Atomic Purple and Extreme Green, and you've got the whole set.

>>9738559
1004 model with a Sharp screen? AKA "Can't see shit when it scrolls".

I gave up trying to play Corpse Party on it and restarted on 3DS. As a bonus, the new sprites are perfect. No more of the filtSGVered ones on PSP.

>really likes white

Couldn't be any less interested if I tried.

>>9739082
Excuse me? We have had tons of the Smoke and Ice variants. But Atomic purple wasn't opaque like the typical transparent colors. Arguably more Ice ones than Atomic Purple ones.

>>9739967
Glossy plastic makes this a no for me dogg

>>9739967
don't like the red
should've showed a different color

Do any handhelds these days have strap/keyring holes? The DS and PSP had them but I noticed since after the Vita that most now don't; the RG350M doesn't, and neither does the Switch, why do have to attach the strap to the exhaust vent grill and hope to fuck it doesn't break off?
Regular controllers should have them and wrist straps too so ragequitters hit their own face when they try to throw them.

>>9739967
Wow, this looks really awful.

>>9739973
>We have had tons of the Smoke and Ice variants
Nah.
Smoke, yes. Translucent black is a very common color and has been for some time.
The only Ice handheld I've seen is the Miyoo.

Retroid did a very limited run of Grape and Watermelon for the RP2+, but it was long after anyone cared because they already announced the 3.

>>9739465
It was a psp 3001 god of war edition, so I was able to get 150 for it. I dont know who the fuck would want that piece of shit though, because the screen is so much worse than I remember it being. That was the first time in awhile that I picked up a piece of old tech and it was completely different from how I remembered. How fucking bad is the psp 1000 then lol I'm gonna find my old ds lite and see how that looks. As far as the 3ds, I might have to get one of those too and get rid of the rg35xx I bought. What model do you have? I'll either get the new 3ds or a cheap 2ds.

>>9739967
Could they have designed this fucking thing in a less aesthetically pleasing way? It looks like shit.

>>9740043
I have how portable the N64 is >>9739082

>>9740053
I’m convinced that you can’t have a widescreen clamshell and have it look good without a second screen on the bottom

God damn new 3ds are expensive now

>>9740059
It's the opposite for me. Aside from the sliders I think this looks good while I think dual screen always looks ugly.

>>9740010
other....
translucent....

ALL OF THE DAY BRO

>>9739967
With all that wasted space, they could have at least added two more face buttons and made it a cool niche 6 button clamshell.

>>9740182
I would've actually bought one if they did that.

>>9740054
same same

do any of these have a battery life longer than 5 hours? i looked up one of the anbernic ones and was ready to buy until i spotted the 5 hour= battery life

>>9740182
Damn you’re right. Would also help deal with the possible lack of clickable sticks. Talk about missed opportunities

>>9740287
Playdate has got some excellent battery life.

>>9740014
this is my favourite transparent handheld

>>9740301
ya ill pass

>>9740298
L3 and R3 are up top next to the shoulder buttons, but yeah 6 facebuttons would've been sick.

>>9740287
Depends on what you want to play. What do you want to play? KTR1 is the only thing I know of that will clear 6 hours even maxing out with PS2 at max volume and brightness.

>>9740310
>L3 and R3 are up top next to the shoulder buttons
what in the fuck?
they could have replaced start and select, and then moved those into the vast desert between the dpad and Y

Can you reccomend me the best 16:9 cheap handheald

>>9740354
The Retroid Pocket 3 (non-plus). I'm sure you can find people selling theirs for around $100.

>>9740317
I don't think it's a bad location honestly, it's the same location you'd get L2 and R2 on an Anbernic device. 6 face buttons would still be best and start/select should still be moved up there tho. Start/Select should be up top and Home/Back should be where start and select currently are.

Someone talk me into not regretting buying RG351M because the screen aspect ratio sucks for PS1 and SNES

>>9740389
>force 4:3
>bilinear
>deal with black borders
Honestly though, what'd you expect? 3:2 is tailored to a single system.

>>9740397
At that awkward resolution and screen size it is, yeah. on something like the KTR1, 3:2 is good for everything.

Any reason I shouldnt get odin lite? Because im gona get odin lite.

>>9740389
Regret your lack of researching what your buying because 351 is perfect for gba I love mine.

>>9738327
>>9738437
Awesome, have fun with your new world of arcade games anon. If you ever want some recs you can ask in /shmupg/ on /vg/. It's absolute shitpost central, but when people actually ask about games there people respond normally.

>>9732672
This the mini plus or the original?

>>9740234
Is it really a portable n64 if it doesn’t have c-buttons?

alright lads it's happening, I ordered the RK2023. I will let you all know how kino and/or explosive it is when I get it, since I know you're all dying for more details.

>>9740703
Id like to see a size comparison to 353m. Rk2023 looks good but id change out those blue buttons and I really dislike the model number at the bottem.

>>9732657
Why can't someone make a small vert handled with just two larger face buttons and two shoulder buttons? I don't give two shits about snes or psx, I just want to play every Gameboy, PCE, NES, NGP, and Pico 8.

Lads, is it still possible to buy an RP2+ for $100 new?

>>9740839
me too. on paper it's a little bigger
353m:
>L: 145 mm H: 70.5 mm W:15.9 mm
rk2023:
>L: 151.5 mm H: 78 mm W:17.5 mm
I didn't realize when it first came out, but the 353m is actually really fucking small. those blue buttons are part of the reason I went with the white.

>>9740774
Why the hell are people speculating on the value of Chinese handheld emulators? This hardware is basically an offshoot of rejected cell phone components going into TV set boxes and other tech crap. Consumers really can't help themselves from consuming even if the thing isn't really that rare.

Are people ITT really still suggesting that a $150 anbernic chinkshit holds a candle to the analogue pocket in terms of the display, latency, and performance/accuracy?

I like my handheld to be portable and fit in a pocket. I’ll keep my 353M you keep your brick. Deal?

>>9741131
Small man little pockets

>>9741136
I’m genuinely curious, what size pant do you wear that you can fit a deck in there?

>>9741125
yes take a $400+ PC out in public. nothing bad will happen.

>>9741143
just regular man size pants.

>>9741153

Beating retroid is like beating a small child.

My problem is with the speaker placement. In the video shows that is in the back. They could have put in front with all that wasted space.

>>9741242
>no transparent purple
>not dual screen for ds emulation
Fucking waste.

>>9741292
KYS atomic burble normalfag, transparent red is way cooler.

>Retroid guy on their channel said there's something special about the sliders
Interesting. I hope there is something that makes them more comfortable to use than the 3DS sliders like having them pop out into more traditional sticks when the device is open. MK7 is so uncomfortable to play compared to playing MKWii on my RP3+ even if the 3's analog sticks aren't the best.

>>9741292
>dualshartfag having terrible taste
Nothing new under the sun.

>>9741242
Fuck me, I already have an RP3 (non-plus but I don't really need the extra power for what I emulate) so I really don't need this but I'm really liking the look of that watermelon one and it would be nice to have a handheld I can just shove in my pocket without having to put it in a bulky case. I don't even use the analog sticks on my RP3 so I couldn't give less of a shit about the sliders.

>>9741590
be patient, let the first wave of consumers beta test it for you and then decide

>>9741242
Apparently on their discord channel they're teasing that the sliders actually click in for L3/R3. The buttons next to the shoulder buttons are M1/M2 and they're hotkeys.

>>9741613
I'm the coooomsuuuuuuumer tho.

>>9741617
I'm tempted too friend but better to find out the hinges are flimsy or whatever BEFORE you buy it

>>9737914
Why so chonky

>>9740527
Dpad placement

>>9740050

- New 3DS has poor quality control with screens. Expect to see bright and darkened areas shortly after using it for the first time. The top screen has a yellowish tint. I don't know if New 2DS XL improved on the screen. GB and GBA games emulate well or work natively with GBA runner, but there will be blurred stretching (you can modify the scaling technique if you hack it). I tried at least one snes game with high resolution mode and it seemed to run ok, but it may have been using an older version of Snes 9x

- I have the RG351V. It has a good 640x480 screen. PSX and 240p(ish) consoles will look great, but GBA won't (can't use integer scaling). If that's your thing, other models have a better resolution for GBA. Don't get it if sound glitches annoy it. You could get one of the other anbernic models that have a better resolution for GBA games

If you don't care about emulating PSX (I tried on the new 3ds, was super slow) and don't mind creating your own injects, the 3DS may be a better choice than a an RG351. You would have the entire DS and 3DS catalogue available, on top of the not very demanding emulators.

Right now I wonder if it would have been better to pay for something slightly more beefier than the 351V.

>>9740090
That's why I got a cheap anbernic for emulation. I did not want to wear down the 3DS with emulation, given how much of an (economic) pain it would be to replace it.

>>9741992
>The top screen has a yellowish tint
you can adjust for that in the Rosalina menu now

>>9740397
>deal with black borders
Even with the 640x480 vertical models they won't go away entirely. I began playing with disabling "crop overscan", and sometimes you get interesting results. Super Mario Bros 2 draws more of the game into the top and bottom overscan area instead of showing garbage graphics, but it probably is the exception since that one was meant to be a vertically scrolling game.

>>9741160
"Is that a Steam Deck in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?"

>>9741998
Thanks for the tip. I will check it later.

>>9742006
just a heads up, if you press a button (there's a prompt) you can change the color temp of each screen individually

The rg405m is getting a demonstration here in 20 minutes at the top of the hour.

I think this is probably the device I want, we'll see how it runs twilight princess.

>>9728042
omega de or everdrive mini is better?

>>9741160
Kek!

>>9741992
Are there screen mods for the new3ds? I love the hardware except for the screen. And it does kinda suck that you need a flashcart for ds emu. That's why I want an anbernic or retroid DS.

>>9742339
Twilightmenu works pretty well these days. No flashcard required for DS stuff anymore

>>9741992
I actually downloaded the psx rom pack and have been playing through them and most of these games don't hold up today for me. I really don't think any of the 3d fifth generation console games are nearly as playable as those that came before, so im not really all that interested in PSX. I've mostly been playing SNES, Genesis, Arcade, and some GB puzzle games, but I wanted a 3ds for some of the remakes they have of stuff like ocarina and some of their updated IPs. I think I'll just keep bidding on some 3ds-es on ebay. I had an new xl when it came out and it didn't look bad, but I also didn't think the psp screen looked bad. 2ds og would probably be good enough for me, but I think about some kid owning it before me and touching it after touching his dick and asshole

>>9741992
You should be using injects or open_agb_firm for GBA, GBARunner2 has issues since it isn't native like those two and there's no reason to use it on a 3DS.

How's the screen on the RG35XX compared to the RG351MP?
While I think the MP got an okay screen, I kinda miss more lush colors (especially noticeable with deep reds).

>>9742927
Same. You probably want some kind of OLED display, such as the one in the RG505.

>>9733774
Nah just get a Deck. It's big but it's somehow quite comfy. Shit that competes with it may be more powerful but also lack the dedicated architecture that Valve created with the Deck. The absolutely only qualms I've ever had with my Deck are all on a game-by-game basis. It's a great machine. Just get the biggest version if money isn't an issue. I should've just splurged but I got the 256 and sorta regret it. Too chicken to swap the SSD.

>>9735031
my brother try browsing /x/ in the current year. there are literal "schizophrenia general" threads

>>9741160
absolutely fucking based lmfao

>>9742980
just use a big SD card anon, games load surprisingly quick off of there. The Deck is stupid comfy, Steam OS and it's integration are phenomenal, price for the power is unreal, but I think my favorite thing that the Deck has over all other handheld PCs is it's the only one with the d-pad up top I mean there's the Win 600, but jesus fuck everything else about the device is awful

>>9742997
oh i know, i bought a 1TB card before i even got my Deck. Just long for the additional internal storage sometimes. i'll live though. glad to see someone else who thinks it's comfy though. my switch hurts my hands no matter what i attach to the fuckin thing but the deck somehow doesn't.

>>9742927
Shame. I really like the form factor and I don't care about the systems beyond PS1. Too bad chinks usually use those shitty low contrast LCD screens. IPS can do so much more.

Guess I'll just stick to the MP for now. Thanks.

>>9741284
How about Ayn, though?

the flip is ~270g, 40g more than the RP3+. it's fucking over...

>>9734153
>create a device for the soul purpose of playing 4:3/8:7 content
>put in a 16:9 screen
for what purpose

How do I make multi disc Playstation 1 games look neat on my games list? I have multiple of the same game cause I guess it's detecting disk 2, disk 3 etc

>>9742021
not bad, but the maker should have tried testing with the actual big guns.

Xenoblade
Automodellista
Star Wars Rogue squadron 2 and 3
Smash melee, brawl and 3ds (SPECIALLY 3ds)

if they show these games working properly, that thing will sell out before the first batch release date gets to be even teased in twitter.
